Greek Traditions: Weddings in Santorini
<p>Santorini is my all-time favorite island in Greece. I have been going there ever since I was a kid. For me, it’s the most romantic place in the world, hands down.</p>
<p>I have attended many weddings in Santorini, and I thought it would be nice to share some related traditions.</p>
<p>For starters, weddings in Santorini always take place on Sundays only. Female friends of the bride gather at the bride’s house on the Thursday-3 days before the wedding — to make sugar plums.</p>
<p>On the day of the wedding, at noon, the father of the groom literally shouts the wedding from the rooftops, as he climbs on a roof to announce the beginning of the wedding to everyone.</p>
<p>After this, violinists go with the bride to every house in Santorini to invite everyone to the wedding, personally. This is my favorite part; it makes everyone feel equally wanted, plus the music is absolutely divine!</p>
